Patent Claims
5 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method of decoding an encoded video comprising: receiving a bitstream of an encoded video; determining at least one coding unit by using split information extracted from the bitstream; extracting from the bitstream transformation index information indicating whether a transformation unit of a current level included in a current coding unit among the at least one coding unit is split; when the transformation index information indicates a split of the transformation unit of the current level, splitting the transformation unit of the current level into transformation units of a lower level; and when the transformation index information indicates a non-split of the transformation unit of the current level, performing an inverse transformation on the transformation unit of the current level to generate residual data corresponding to the transformation unit of the current level.

2

2. The video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the transformation unit of the current level is included in the at least one coding unit, and a size of the transformation unit of the current level is smaller than or equal to a size of the at least one coding unit.

3

3. The video decoding method of claim 2 , wherein the transformation unit of the current level is obtained by halving a height and a width of the at least one coding unit.

4

4. The video decoding method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one coding unit is a data unit in which a picture of the encoded video is encoded and the transformation unit of the current level is a data unit in which the data of the at least one coding unit is transformed.

5

5. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 .
